About this song...
I was sitting in Club Passim checking out some other artists' music when suddenly I had to grab a napkin and write down these lyrics that came into my head (happens this way a lot, hence the reference in the song to "channeling"). Anyway, this is really about trying to move on despite the lingering feeling that you left something critical behind and may not get to know its true importance...

Lyrics: Melissa Axel (ASCAP)


right in the middle of my life, the telephone in my brain begins to ring
and I am channeling a song about
the worth of things


these things are old, these things are gone and
we have learned to carry on, without knowing the worth of things
the worth of things


burning through the hollow of my gut, all the thoughts of distant pasts
that I have got to surpass
to find a way to make this last


these things are old, these things are gone and
we have learned to carry on without knowing the worth of things
the worth of things
